Confused about weapon DPS and tactical skills

Orihime · 12-03-2009, 03:17 PM

Got a really nice stone for my RK, and its time to redo the points..

What I was wondering- is there really any point in maxing/adding points to weapon DPS when all skill (damaging atleast) is tactical ones?
Just asking cause the stone got so many other good legacies I want to spend points on..

as a RK, there is no real point in investing points into weapon DPS, imo

you are going to 'shoot lightning from your fingertips' ((c) of Teepster Runekeepster

), not beat up the enemy with your stone

Yeah that's what I thought as well- just wanted to make sure. ^^ Cool, more points to spend on other stuff

lol I was stupid enough to actually max the Weapon dps -.- The stone has 1 million xp now tho so when I get my hands on a better Rune-Stone, I´ll deconstruct that one. Should give a nice xp token + relics.

Still I feel kinda dumb having maxed dps

Ah well.

Orihime · 12-03-2009, 10:43 PM

Yeah I did that on another stone (luckily not maxed so still time to get it right

)

Yeah I'm not sure why I keep seeing RKs running around with that have maxed out dps and no damage increasing legacies... They're the most useless thing ever!

As far as I'm concerned at least, a 1dps stone is effectively just as good as a 50dps stone assuming the same good legacies.

Well it´s pretty much true, unless you want to hit more with Auto-Attack lol.
Kinda shame I understood that a week ago

If your gonna up your damage i suggest trying to get good tiers in lightning damage and increased critical damage provided your trying to get your crit rating as high sa possible and your primary skills are lightning.

By b7 the lightning damage will scale to 15%, chisel will add 10% and with the lightning damage title to your satchel you should be at your max.

ps you can get a legacy called "scribes spark damage" on your satchel aswell. The usefullness of it is up to you, i think its a lot of points too boost just 1 skill so i spent them on fire damage instead.

The great thing of not careing about the weapon DPS is that the stone's level is indiferent to us

I'm still carrying a level 54 stone of the 2º age, still havent found anything better

true but not below 57
Your missing out on 10 levels if you use a second age below level 57
